I don't think we need an hour for the ArriveCAN on the sixth. We are literally millimetres away from being done, and I'd hate to have only a partial panel for this bill. Can we not do at least an hour and a half with witnesses, maybe an hour and 45 minutes, and leave 15 minutes for ArriveCAN?

When would the meeting with Ms. Hudon and Minister Ng be held?

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

That will happen as soon as we can get them scheduled in. The minister knows we're waiting for her to be able to come. Once we have an indication from the minister's office that she is here, in the country, and available, we will shuffle things around in order to ensure that this happens.

Is that all right? Is everybody good? Okay.

It's Thursday night. Have a great weekend, everybody, for those of you who don't have to be here tomorrow.
